_________________________
This is a claim for a tract of land in Moanalua, Oahu
In support of this claim the Claimant has produced an
indisputable deed from the King Kamehameha 3 & Hoapili
Kane, bearing date November 6th AD. 1839, the translation
of which is as follows:-
�Hoapili Kane bargains with William Sumner for
a piece of upland and land up the Mountain of Moanalua
for the term of 55 years from this date, in which the said
William Sumners shall give to the said Hoapili Kane or
to his heirs the sum of fifty dollars. So he shall continue
to do, and also his heirs to pay the sum of 50 dollars for
every year for the above said number of years, after which
time, the said William Sumner and his heirs, may continue
to live there without paying the above sum. They shall
pay however the accustomed land tax, or be liable to
lose it. The said William Sumners shall not sell the
same, but it shall be heritable by his heirs born on
these Islands. His Heirs shall enjoy protection on
the above place, called Moanalua; but in no other
place shall they go thither. His herds also shall be
protected by the Konohiki, lest they be killed without
cause, but if the common people wish to go up the hill
for house timber, or fuel, or any other property the produce
of the Mountain, they may go for the supply of ther wants.
This priviledge belongs only to the Residents of Moanalua
it belongs to no others; lest the herds should receive
injury by others not belonging to the place. If the Herd
shall not remain unmolested according to the provisions
herein mentioned; then all men shall be prohibited
from going to the mountain; no one of the Common
people of Moanalua shall go up without the consent
of the keeper of said Herd; that shall be the result
of disturbing the peace of the Herd. But if the
Herd trespass, and eat the food of the common people
then each animal shall pay according to the food des-
troyed [destroyed]. If the common people of Moanalua may wish

that is otherwise prohibited from them they may do so
by paying to the said William Sumner one fouth part
